Multi-User Publishing in the Web: DReSS, a Document Repository Service Station

摘要

We present DReSS, a system to enable authors to deposit (and update) documents ona WWW server, using standard WWW features only. DReSS consists of a set of CGI-scripts and two small auxiliary programs running on the client machine. It can be used with any (HTML-2.0-capable) WWW browser, and with any WWW server. We indicate where the current WWW architecture makes managing WWW servers with multiple authors difficult. This leads to suggestions for new browser and server features that could improve the authoring processing significantly.
